So,
I've recently moved into a new home and found an area of the back yard, just outside the door, which had an interesting ground covering which I hadn't seen before.
After some research I found it's technically classified as a weed, atleast by the UGA Turf school.

I'm interested in promoting it's growth, but would like to find a way to defeat the other weeds beginning to spring up.
Suggestions?

Therein lies part of the problem. This is my first house and as such the first time I've needed a lawn mower.
It's on the list of needs, but hasn't reached the top, yet. I have about a quarter to half an acre or there about to mow, all mostly flat. Thoughts on a mower as well? I was considering a reel mower but for the size of the lawn I'm not sure that would be practical, but hey I'd get one heck of a work out!
Is there a healthy way to encourage the pony foot to spread over the grass surrounding it? *aside from scalping the grass up completely.*

You bring up a good point, Marlingardner.
I also have peach, fig, pear *I think*, and loquat trees, as well as scuppernong vines and roses.
There are six fruit trees in the front yard, though because it's winter I have nothing but the bare trees to look at and try to ID so far. The previous owner said there were pear and peach trees in the yard, but didn't specify which was which.
As I said this is my first actual yard, so I have loads to learn.
